Everyone has the right to feel safe

Sometimes people need help to walk forward and lead a life with their families free of violence.

Through providing a range of domestic violence services, we have helped thousands of victims of domestic violence be safe, recover and move forward through practical, immediate help and referrals. Lutheran Services’ goal is to make you feel safe and connected and to offer renewed hope for the future.
